The childcare law reporting project provides valuable insight and transparency through anonymous reporting on what happens in public family law cases, such as those relating to children in care. The legislation that set it up allows for similar anonymous reporting in respect of private family law cases. We need the same reporting in respect of private family law cases, involving issues such as custody, access and maintenance. The same legislation can be used to facilitate that. Can the Government establish an agency now to provide that transparency to the family courts?
